Jack Frost-y

It's Christmas Eve and I must admit I've been waiting all year to share these extraordinary works. Produced by Michael Andersen & Sons around 1940, the design is referred to as a "Transmutation" Glaze and reminds me of the" Jack Frost" that occurs on windows during cold Winter days such as these. So innovative a technique, especially for the time period in which they were made, that the family owned studio won international attention and acclaim.

There is nothing quite like the fabulous vintage hand blown glass , the rare ceramics, and the marvelous mid-century modern furniture found at "The End of History". We opened our shop in Manhattan's West Village in 1997. Since then we have amassed more decorative objects from the 50's & 60's in one room than anywhere in the world. As a result we've become the go-to for top editors from magazines as well as a choice source to the best interior designers in the world. We will update this blog often... and as new publications come out and exciting new items hit our shelves!
